The most beautiful beer gardens with playground in and around Munich!
What would Munich be without its beer gardens? We love them, especially since we had children. Extensive visits to the beer garden with children are wonderful, especially in summer. But here, too, beer garden is not the same as beer garden.
For us, the cozy sitting together with friends and family and of course treating yourself to one or the other Bavarian delicacies is part of a successful beer garden visit. So that the children go to the beer garden with exactly the same anticipation as we do, we always choose beer gardens with a great playground and try to get a place near it in order to keep a good eye on the kids.
Our favorite beer gardens, which are particularly suitable for families, are the following:
Trip by bike to the beer garden Menterschweige!
The beer garden Menterschweige is located in Harlaching on the high bank of the Isar. It is ideal as a destination for a bicycle tour with the family. It has two large playgrounds – one for younger and one for older children. The big kids can climb around on a wooden ship with considerable climbing opportunities: suspension bridge, climbing net, balancing ropes and much more. The children’s playground for the little ones is classically equipped with swing, slide, rocking animals and rotating carousel.
It is easy to find a beer table with a view of the playground, because many tables border directly on the playground fence. As a parent, you can enjoy it while keeping an eye on the rascals. The food here is extremely good and very attractively prepared at various stalls! It’s fun to choose!
The beer garden classics such as Hendl, Obatzda and Brezn are supplemented here by various delicacies. There are burgers, ribs and steaks from the grill, stone oven pizza, Steckerlfisch (on request even salmon trout) and various salads and side dishes. You should definitely bring hunger with you when visiting the Menterschweige.
Feast in the Kugler Alm while the next generation is playing!
The Kugler Alm is a great destination in the south of Munich. Because in addition to a large beer garden, a lot is offered here for children. The large sandbox is a children’s construction site. Helmets and mason’s trowel as well as other sand toys are available and so the little craftsmen can get to work. Right next to it, the kids of a toy tractor can climb. In the back of the large children’s area, the children become passengers of the wooden railway or can practice as train personnel. The imagination is stimulated in any case. In summer, even pony rides for children are offered on Sundays.
The range of food here is rather unusual for a beer garden. In addition to the classics such as Obazdn, Hendl and Sparribs, there are also delicious foods such as grilled vegetables or salads. Otherwise, you look for it in vain in the beer garden. We found the “Auszogne” particularly delicious! It is freshly prepared. We had to make sure that we got something of it next to our children.
For Munich’s extremely advanced conditions, a changing table is located on both the women’s and men’s toilets. In addition, the little guests will be treated with an extra low children’s washbasin. We particularly appreciate something like that!
Visit the Aumeister in the middle of the city
The Aumeister beer garden is hidden in the northern part of the English Garden. It is a great destination for a family bike tour. But it is also easily accessible by car and there are some parking spaces.
The playground is located slightly laterally from the main part and is fenced. In front of it are some beer banks, which are almost exclusively confiscated by families. So you always have a good view of your children. The kids enjoy the different play possibilities with seesaw, turntable, swing, house for hiding and the large climbing tower including a suspension bridge. As a special highlight – at least from the children’s point of view – there is a small nostalgic carousel and a toy car right in front of the playground. Both set in motion as soon as you throw in a coin. Here, many children test how generous their (grand) parents are.
Sitting relaxed under chestnut trees in the English Garden!
Not often were we served as friendly and quickly in a beer garden as in the Sankt Emmeramsmühle in the northern part of the English Garden. The menu ranges from typical Bavarian dishes to modern regional cuisine.
In summer, the beer garden, which has 600 seats, attracts visitors from all corners. Especially for families, there is a lot on offer and so there is a playground, children’s chairs and changing facilities for kids. Also worth mentioning are the extra children’s cups that brings every service to the table, as well as crayons and various culing pages. For food, there are popular children’s dishes such as spaetzle with sauce or schnitzel in smaller portions at fair prices.
The traditional restaurant is one of the most popular Munich beer gardens, which is not only due to the idyllic location in the middle of the countryside and the beautiful estate, but also to the relaxed ambience that prevails everywhere.
Fresh plug fish, music and playground in the Wawi!
If you cycle long enough along the Isar to the south, you get to the “Wawi”, as the Waldwirtschaft is affectionately called by locals. Above the Isar extends the beer garden. In the middle of the beer garden there is a stage on which cozy jazz music is often played. Therefore, the Wawi is known to many as a jazz beer garden. The food here tastes particularly delicious! In addition to the classics, there is fresh plug fish and (very popular with children) a stand where fresh crepes are prepared.
There is a fenced playground for the children. Rather than the playground, however, the trampolines and the nostalgic ship swings attract the children. Both can be used for a small fee. Only the minimum age must be met.
The beer garden for families in the middle of the city!
The Augustiner Biergarten is super close to the city at the Hackerbrücke and thus not far from the main train station. However, you hardly feel what you can feel as soon as you have entered it. You sit under secluded big old trees while the children conquer the large playground. Only the number of tourists here is significantly higher than in many other beer gardens.
Somisable beer garden with children in the countryside!
Adjacent to the forest of Forstenrieder Park in the Würmtal is the Forsthaus Kasten beer garden. As an excursion destination for families, the Forsthaus Kasten is highly recommended. Either as a bike tour out of the city and into the countryside, but the beer garden is also easy to reach by car.
Typical Bavarian dishes are freshly prepared with local products. At the self-service counter you can provide yourself with the Schmakers and drinks and consume them directly on the green meadow or under chestnut trees.
In the middle of Schwabing, there is the mix of beer garden and la Dolce Vita
The Bamberger Haus is located in the northern part of the Luitpold Park and spoils its guests with high quality food. In the house there are two restaurants “Zum Ferdinand” has selected Austrian specialties on the menu, while the restaurant “Ciao Francesco” offers a family-friendly pizzeria with beautiful seating, under trees and right next to the playground. So logically, we recommend the pizzeria for a visit.
The menu is quite clear with pizza, pasta and some desserts, but there is all the more Italian taste and nice service. Children are received in a friendly way, as in Italy, and are also allowed to watch pizza baking in the open kitchen.
The most beautiful forest beer garden in the surrounding area
The traditional Mariabrunn beer garden is located in the north of Munich and enchants its visitors with heart and charm. Surrounded by large chestnuts, the family-friendly beer garden is located in the middle of nature. A relaxed atmosphere and the scent of fresh plug fish are in the air. Meanwhile, the children can let off steam on the forest playground.
For us, the beer garden with children is and remains something very special. Guided with heart, the Mariabrunn castle farm offers fine Bavarian cuisine, a unique cosiness and on top of that an unforgettable visit for the little ones.
By the way, if you like, you can also reach the beer garden by bike. It is about 25 km away from Munich.
The beer garden where you can meet the locals!
The Taxisgarten is an institution in Munich Neuhausen. Here you can meet many locals. Centrally located, it is easily accessible by public transport as well as by bike or car. Huge chestnut trees provide shade almost everywhere. There are both a large number of beer tables and in the front area as well as at the playground some tables with chairs that allow the slightly more comfortable sitting with leaning on.
The playground is nicely integrated in the back. The center forms the slide. But the swings and seeses are also highly sought after as always. It is not uncommon to see parents in the large sandbox who have placed a chair right next to it to be ready when it comes to trying the sand cake. But regardless of this, there are numerous tables from which the view of the little ones is secured.
